Embracing Jocko Willink's Principles as a Detection Dog Handler As detection dog handlers, we can draw inspiration from Jocko Willink's teachings on leadership and discipline to excel in our vital role. Here's how his principles apply to our work: Extreme Ownership: Take full responsibility for the training, care, and performance of your canine partner. Ownership breeds accountability and proactive problem-solving. Discipline Equals Freedom: Maintain strict discipline in training routines and operational procedures. Discipline fosters consistency, reliability, and composure in high-pressure situations. Adaptability and Planning: Be flexible and adaptive in your training approaches based on your dog's capabilities and operational needs. Effective planning ensures successful missions. Teamwork and Collaboration: Foster strong partnerships with your canine companion and fellow team members. Communication, trust, and mutual support are essential for success. Mindset and Resilience: Develop mental toughness to overcome challenges and learn from setbacks. A resilient mindset fuels continuous improvement and growth. Continuous Improvement: Embrace a growth-oriented mindset for ongoing skill development and learning. Strive for excellence through feedback and refinement. Let's embody these principles to enhance our leadership, optimize teamwork with our dogs, and maintain high standards in our critical role. Together, we rise to the challenge! #DetectionDogHandlers #JockoWillink #Leadership #Discipline #Teamwork #Resilience #ContinuousImprovement #DogMerickel #DogTrainer #DogTraining #WorkingDog #K9 #HistoricGraveDogDetection #HRD #detectiondog #DogScience

"This person has consistently demonstrated being bold. They have worked hard to establish a brand of execution, communication, hard work, being proactive, and seeking knowledge. They demonstrate a passion for growth, never resting, seeking improvement, and elevating not only their own standards but also the standards of GRO Landscape Supply. On top of that, they have stayed late and come in early and on their days off to do what was right for business and our customers. It has been fantastic to see them blossom into their role and I look forward to their continued growth with GRO and as a leader. McKenna Forney!" -Manager James S.

There is a process that cometh from stewardship to ownership. Much of this is accompanied by responsibility where if one doesn't become accountable to their responsibility it often comes crumbling down. What most don't know is that the responsibility begins at the prior stage - stewardship. This comes with conflict. You ask how responsive and responsible should i be when I'm a steward? Wise people will tell you just as much as you are the owner.

What makes you and your unique and special?   In what ways do you differentiate from your competition?   Are you focused on your competition or on your special sauce?   Daily Shake Up No. 852 borrows a lesson in differentiation from the Michigan’s most famous food – coney dogs. Michigan (and Detroit) are famous for coney dogs and, so much so, that the number 1 and number 2 rated coney dog restaurants are in Detroit. In fact, they’re on the same street. Actually, they’re right night door to each other – literally attached. Clearly, they have competition and yet they’re both thriving and have been for many years. How do they do it? I don’t know their respective secrets but I’m sure that there’s something that makes them different. When I visited them both several years ago one told me that the difference was vidalia onions versus regular onions. They also noted lamb skin hot dogs over regular hot dogs. The point is that we all have competition and the key to thriving is not being more like our competition. The key is to be different than our competition, even when it comes to coney dogs.   Don’t worry about your competition. Worry about your special sauce.   #SnowGlobeLeadership #NischwitzGroup #SnowGlobeLiving #Leadership #Competition #Differentiation #ConeyDogs
